Varina Denman "Jilted" -- and Mending Hurting Hearts

Dear Readers~I'm so excited to host author Varina Denman on my blog. As you'll read in her bio, she's a Texas girl and she writes about struggles we, women (not just Texans) face in today's world.

Welcome, Varina. Please tell us about how God led you to write Jilted in your Mended Hearts series.

In the beginning, I didn’t have a plan for Lynda

Turner and Clyde Felton. At that time, all I

knew was that Lynda was a bitter
woman who

had been shunned by the church, and Clyde

was an ex-convict who had
spent twenty years

in prison. Both of them had been jilted by love

interests,
by their friends, and by the church.

Then I realized that’s true of

many people in

real
life. Things don’t always

work out like we

imagine they will, and friends

let
us down—

even friends who call

themselves Christians.

So over the course of the
series, I realized

Lynda and Clyde very much needed their own

book. In fact, their
story is the crux of the

whole series, and Jilted brings all the conflict

to a
nice tidy conclusion.

Through writing Jilted, I grew spiritually. As I

walked through life with Clyde and Lynda,

helping them to forgive and overlook
the faults

of others, it became easier for me to bestow

grace as well … which
was probably God’s

main goal all along.

Sounds like a great story, Varina. I don't of anyone who hasn't felt jilted at one time or another. It's painful.And now, Varina's bio...

Varina Denman writes

stories about the unique struggles women face. A native Texan who spent her high school years in a small
Texas town, Varina now lives near Fort Worth with her husband and five mostly
grown children. Her passion is helping others make peace with their life
situations. Varina’s Mended Hearts series is a compelling blend of women’s
fiction and inspirational romance. Connect with Varina through her website, Facebook,
